Our faces don’t just distinguish us from other people, but other species as well. Neanderthals bore stout jaws and broad ...

More than a century ago, a distorted image of Neanderthals emerged. When a nearly complete skeleton was discovered in 1908 at La Chapelle-aux-Saints, France, its reconstruction led to lasting ...

Modern humans with slightly elongated skull shapes may share rare genetic material inherited from Neanderthals, our closest extinct relatives, new research suggests. Scientists at the Max Planck ...

Neanderthals and Homo sapiens shared technology and customs in the Levant, shaping early human culture through cooperation.

The Neanderthal is also shown with body decoration ... people would look like around the part of the face where the flesh is thin, when you know the skull shape. An example would be the bridge of the ...

Measurement of our braincase and pelvic shape can reliably separate a modern human from a Neanderthal – their fossils exhibit a longer, lower skull and a wider pelvis. Even the three tiny bones of our ...

Although Neanderthal skulls and brains were large like ours, the shape differed: Their heads were long rather than globe-shaped and had lower foreheads and crowns. The internal structure of their ...

New study challenges the theory that Neanderthals originated after an evolutionary event that implied the loss of part of ...

The smoking gun was the rounded shape of the back of Apidima ... Jockeying with Neanderthals Although the two skulls were deposited in the Greek cave about 40,000 years apart, the researchers ...

A study of the inner ear bones of Neanderthals shows a significant loss of diversity in their shape around 110,000 years ago, suggesting a genetic bottleneck that contributed to Neanderthals' decline.
